Actually wearing season 1 suits in HITMAN 2

[badeaguard]

Don’t worry. They will re activate them again for Hitman 2. I knew they will do the same way before with season ,1 I can bet you they will do the same on this one

[Soupienza]

eh… no thanks… I don’t want the suits if it means losing the ability to use my entire arsenal across all the missions in HITMAN 2 + Legacy Pack.

I’ll wait for IOI to do it properly.

Also quite impressed that the clothes appear to mostly work immediately on the H2 47 character model (which as far as I can tell is a new sculpt). Are there any breaks/collision issues like 47’s body going through the clothes when crouched or running?

[JJoa74]

I gotta say, if it were that easy, they should have given it to us lol.

[Soupienza]

Except that it’s not that easy. The OP mentions the inventory cannot be used in certain missions. There’s some work to do and no doubt just forcing it in may cause bugs across platforms.

I’m sorry, but I genuinely think it was LAZINESS on IO’s part for not allowing the Master from Season 1 to carry into Season 2. People have claimed it’s because of a number of the newer features in Season 2 change the way you play Season 1… but that’s total shit.

There’s not much foliage to hide amongst during the Season 1 levels
I don’t really see to much difference in the crowds from Season 1
Mirrors - whoop tee doo… That doesn’t entirely change the gameplay in Season 1
Difficulty levels - Professional level in GOTY seems exactly the same as Mastery in Hitman 2
OMG - We get to bring a briefcase in Season 1??? WOO HOO…

On no - wait - we get to slap people with a fish in Season 1. They obviously had to re-write the code because of that.

I know some will claim that even though things are different they won’t mind doing the challenges again, but chances are that none of these changes will probably affect how you complete the challenges again… you’ll probably approach them the SAME way you did in GOTY.

This is genuinely laziness on IO’s part… a mere pathetic attempt to pad out the game replayability.

You are wrong on these two counts.

Colorado is changed massively by this update.

The crowds also come into their own when used for Ghost Mode style “phantom throws” from within crowds. You can actually toss illegal objects at Marco Abiatti from within the rally and stay hidden for example.

You also underestimate how much the game changes from using HITMAN 2 items in HITMAN 2016 missions. Many solutions from the first game no longer work, and many new solutions are opened up.

It is true we’ve missed out on some things so far in the transition. But I stand firmly on the belief that the good outweighs the bad.

I refuse to hear IOI labeled as lazy. The Miami map and mission alone is a mountain of work.

This was mentioned in another thread.

Everything @Soupienza was correct + IOI has also stated that they would rather not because players would miss out on the opportunity to get millions of XP.

[epic_piano]

Oh please… Ghost mode is a disaster and it being used as an argument for is very weak at best…

Maybe Colorado plays a little differently. I notice that you didn’t mention any of the other maps - so it seems that the other maps are relatively similar to the original.

And the fact that IO stated they don’t want us to miss out on the opportunity to get millions of XP??? Again, that’s total shit. There’s PLENTY of XP to be collected and earned in the new Hitman 2 levels - why not make us earn them on top of the XP we already slogged our way through in the Legacy levels. About 90% of the challenges from Hitman 2 legacy levels are EXACTLY the same as Hitman 1… I would have been more impressed if they actually had us complete an entirely new set of challenges - but NO.

I’ll admit, I have no problem with the new maps in Hitman 2, Miami is quite spectacular - and I haven’t said word bad word about the new maps, but the whole not bringing the hard earned XP we all earned in Hitman 1 into the Hitman 2 game - that’s LAZINESS… Stating we’re ‘missing out on XP’ is a piss-poor excuse.

[Britannicus]

Jesus Christ you’re entitled. You do realize that the Legacy content is free for all owners of Hitman 2016, right?

[Soupienza]

Compliments IOI for making a great HITMAN 2 main campaign… and then calls them lazy… smh…

We can criticize what is missing without degrading the personalities of the people who after all did “mostly right by us”.

[Duckilous]

We’re all thankful that IOI gave us the Legacy Pack for free but that doesn’t mean we can’t criticise them for not doing what some people wanted: giving them the option to import progress.

If they’re not letting people import progress because the Legacy maps were redesigned a bit differently and they wanted people to re-experience the updated maps, fine, I get that, but why can’t the ET suit rewards be officially imported?

Since they’re currently doing ETs on H2 maps, it’s gonna be a very long time to wait until the H1 ETs gets reactivated again and that’s IF they’re even planning on reactivating them once again.

Oh please… Ghost mode is a disaster and it being used as an argument for is very weak at best…

It’s still a valid argument. Ghost mode isn’t a disaster. It’s quite fun to play with friends.

Colorado benefits the most from the Grass as it’s all around the orchard. It makes SA/SO runs significantly easier. Paris doesn’t have it (nowhere reasonable to put it), Bangkok (the jungle-ey bit’s are the parts of the map you can’t get to), Marrakesh (too dry) or Hokkaido (snow). Sapienza has grass near the castle and the grave of Isabella Caruso.

Sapienza has grass near the castle and the grave of Isabella Caruso.

Sapienza now also has grass near the city entrance, which makes getting the flower delivery disguise in World of Tomorrow and subduing Jeff in The Author significantly easier than before.

the hard earned XP

Toughest things to do in this world:

3 Work in a clothes factory in Bangladesh
2 Dig up blood diamonds in Congo
1 Play Hitman 1 Legacy Pack after having played Hitman 1

[Force_Obscure]

This is highly unorthodox. But if it works. I personally don’t wanna mess with my data.

[Dribbleondo]

Offline data never syncs to the online section, no matter how much we’d like it to.

They did NOT give us the Legacy pack for free… we already paid for it when we bought Season 1. This argument has GOT TO BE STOPPED. There are very little cosmetic differences to the Legacy levels in Hitman 2, so the argument that they gave us this for free is completely wrong.

Nothing was given to us for FREE!!!

Yeah - because that was TOTALLY downright impossible before that patch of grass came along…

…not.

I don’t know, they can still easily charge us for the Legacy Pack even if we already own the previous game if they wanted to, just like how people would be forced to buy the VR version of some games that they already owned.

[YacobT]

Or they simply didn’t have to make it possible to play the first season through S2. HB is the tutorial and go!! I’m happy with the current setup. I hope S3 is just more of the same. I’d be ok if it was the same launcher as S2 and then you just get 6 new levels.

[epic_piano]

If they tried that, every owner of the Hitman 1 game would give IOI HELL on that decision. Imagine paying full price fcr a game, and then paying essential more money for the same maps with a couple of tiny tweaks.

There’s NO way they would, or could even try to get away with it.
